Will Greenwood: 10 things we learned from round one of the Heineken Cup

Leinster have dominated the breakdown at European level for years now and are
brilliant at different styles of breakdown work. They have got to a level
where they are now getting the nod from referees in a lot of tight calls,
playing to their brand, building the myth that they do very little wrong.
Call it the Richie McCaw factor. He does it, it’s OK. Anyone else tries it,
they get penalised. It’s not cheating: it’s being clever. Last week Leinster
got away with murder and scraped home 9-6 against Exeter thanks to three
penalties from Jonny Sexton (pictured).
